feat(tooltip): Implement conditional tooltip expansion with Shift key

This commit introduces a new client-side quality-of-life feature that modifies how item tooltips are displayed in the game. When a player is viewing an item's tooltip, a placeholder message "Hold Shift for details..." is shown by default. Pressing and holding the Shift key reveals the full, complete tooltip, providing an organized and clean inventory browsing experience.

Background / Problem:

• Tooltips in Minecraft can become excessively long, especially in modded environments where items often carry detailed descriptions, enchantment information, and mod-specific metadata.
• A cluttered tooltip obstructs the player's view and makes inventory management cumbersome, as crucial information is always visible whether needed or not.
• There is currently no vanilla or standard Forge method to toggle tooltips or hide them behind a modifier key.

Implementation Details:

• Created a new event handler that listens to the ItemTooltipEvent (Forge's API event for tooltip construction).
• When the event is triggered, the handler checks the state of the Shift key using Screen.hasShiftDown() (client-side) to determine if the player is holding the key while hovering over the item.
• If the key is pressed, the original, unmodified tooltip text list (List) is added to the tooltip, showing every line of information.
• If the key is not pressed, the default tooltip is cleared and replaced with a single-line component: "Hold Shift for details...".
• The tooltip is automatically updated and re-rendered each time the player's key state changes while the item is hovered over.

Changes in Behavior:

• Players can now quickly glance at an item without being overwhelmed by lengthy text.
• The full tooltip is instantly revealed when needed, without any additional keybinds or configuration menus.
• The placeholder text is localized and can be adapted or internationalized by future updates.
• This feature works on all items, including those from other mods, because it intercepts the tooltip event at a generic level.

Testing Performed:

• Verified on Forge 1.20.1 with both vanilla and modded items (e.g., items with enchantments, modded equipment).
• Confirmed that the Shift key detection works reliably in all game screens (inventory, creative menu, containers).
• Tested the responsiveness of the tooltip when the key is pressed, released, and pressed again while the mouse remains on the same item.
• Ensured compatibility with other mods that also modify ItemTooltipEvent through event priority adjustments.

Additional Notes:

• This mod is fully client-side and does not require any server-side installation.
• The Screen.hasShiftDown() method is used over keyBindSneak to accurately reflect GUI-related key presses without interfering with movement controls.
• Future consideration: Adding a configurable keybind to toggle this behavior or customize the placeholder message.
